Add a one-digit number to a multiple of ten

A learner understands that adding a one-digit number to a multiple of ten combines a whole number of tens with additional ones: for example, 40+6=4640+6=46. Place-value representations, such as bundled tens, ten-frames, or a number line, show that the tens remain unchanged while the ones increase; this builds the foundation for composing two-digit numbers and later addition strategies, without extending to larger addends or regrouping.

Detailed Explanation: Add a one-digit number to a multiple of ten

A multiple of ten has whole groups of (10)(10) and 00 ones. When you add a one-digit number, the groups of ten stay the same, and you add the new ones.

Example:

40+640+6
  1. (40)(40) is 44 tens and 00 ones.
  2. Add 66 ones.
  3. Now there are 44 tens and 66 ones.
  4. 44 tens and 66 ones make (46)(46).

So,

40+6=4640+6=46
